Description

With current JMS client implementation when failover happens the client application is not notified about it. In order to report failover occurrence to the client application a special JMS exception needs to be sent into connection ExceptionListener (if such is registered with connection).

In this case the JMS client application code can decide what approach to take: whether call connection.close() etc, or take advantage of their configured failover reconnect feature.
